Travis Collins - Runnin' The Country Lyrics

What if every limousine
Was jacked up in John Deer green?
The cover of a magazine
Was all about boots and jeans
What if every penthouse suite
Had an old tin roof that leaked?
Hey, what if the worlds were lead
By country folk like you and me

We'd have a lot more common sense
We'd have a lot less pointless arguments
If the right came left and the left came right
Shook hands and had a party in the middle tonight
We do what we say, and say what we mean
Take it some place we were proud to be
If the country was runnin' the country

Some say we are behind the times
Just 'cause we keep it simplified
But we're damn sure qualified
We majored in a way of life
And if the times get tough
You won't have to come looking for us

We'd have a lot more common sense
We'd have a lot less pointless arguments
If the right came left and the left came right
Shook hands and had a party in the middle tonight
We do what we say, and say what we mean
And take it some place we were proud to be
If the country was runnin' the country

Yeah, rise and fall with the sun
And don't quit 'til it's done
Tell the truth, even if it hurts
And keep your own hands in your own dirt

We'd have a lot more common sense
A lot less pointless arguments
If the right came left and the left came right
Shook hands and had a party in the middle tonight
We do what we say, and say what we mean
And take it some place we were proud to be
If the country was runnin' the country

Yeah, if the country was runnin' the country
